Updates Full Year Outlook
FIGS, Inc. (NYSE: FIGS) (the “Company”), the direct-to-consumer healthcare apparel and lifestyle brand, today released its first quarter 2022 financial results and published a financial highlights presentation on its investor relations website at ir.wearfigs.com/financials/quarterly-results.
“Our performance in Q1 reflected our continued ability to pair high revenue growth with strong profitability. Our results, while below our expectations, are a testament to the powerful combination of our unique business model and the largely non-discretionary and replenishment nature of our workwear products,” said Co-CEO and Co-Founder, Trina Spear. “Looking ahead, we are well positioned to fuel profitable growth for the years to come due to our strong foundation, recession resistant industry and deep understanding of the healthcare community.”
First Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights
- Net revenues were $110.1 million, an increase of 26.4% year over year, driven by higher average order values and strength in lifestyle products.
- Gross margin was 71.2%, a decrease of 40 basis points year over year, driven by higher air freight spend as well as increased ocean and air freight rates, partially offset by improvements in product costing.
- Operating expenses were $64.7 million, an increase of 39.7% year over year. As a percentage of net revenues, operating expenses increased to 58.8% from 53.2% in the prior year period, primarily driven by higher selling expense, stock-based compensation and incremental costs associated with being a public company.
- Net income was $8.9 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.05.
- Net income, as adjusted(1) was $10.5 million and diluted earnings per share, as adjusted(1) was $0.05.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $25.0 million, an increase of $0.7 million year over year.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) was 22.7%, a decrease of 530 basis points year over year.
Key Operating Metrics
- Active customers(2) as of March 31, 2022 increased 31.1% to 2.0 million.
- Net revenues per active customer(2) was $226, an increase of 6.1% year over year.
- Average Order Value (“AOV”)(2) was $116, an increase of 16.0% year over year primarily driven by a higher mix of lifestyle products, which result in higher units per transaction and generally have a higher price point.
Updated 2022 Financial Outlook
- Net revenues are expected to be in the range of $510 to $530 million, representing year over year growth of approximately 22% to 26%, compared to the previous outlook of $550 to $560 million, reflecting supply chain challenges and broader macroeconomic factors, including high inflation and shifts in consumer spending patterns.
- Gross margin is expected to be in the range of 67% to 68%, compared to the Company’s previous outlook of 70%+, primarily due to a significant increase in the Company’s use of air freight to help mitigate supply chain challenges.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin(3) is expected to be in the range of 16% to 18%, compared to the Company’s previous outlook of 20%+, as the Company balances continued investment with the near-term impact on gross margin.
(1) “Net income, as adjusted,” “diluted earnings per share, as adjusted,” “adjusted EBITDA” and “adjusted EBITDA margin” are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the sections titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics” and “Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” below for more information regarding the Company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by net revenues. |
(2) “Active customers,” “net revenues per active customer” and “average order value” are key operational and business metrics that are important to understanding Company performance. For information regarding how the Company calculates its key operational and business metrics, please see the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics.” |
(3) The Company has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of its adjusted EBITDA margin outlook to a GAAP net income margin outlook because it is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to project certain reconciling items. These items include, but are not limited to, future stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, expenses related to non-ordinary course disputes, and transaction costs. These items are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors, some of which are outside of the Company’s control or ability to predict. For more information regarding the Company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics.” |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics
In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, the Company has included non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. The Company has also included “active customers,” “net revenues per active customer” and “average order value,” which are key operational and business metrics that are important to understanding Company performance. The Company calculates “active customers” as unique customer accounts that have made at least one purchase in the preceding 12-month period. The Company calculates “net revenues per active customer” as the sum of the total net revenues in the preceding 12-month period divided by the current period “active customers.” The Company calculates “average order value” as the sum of the total net revenues in a given period divided by the total orders placed in that period. Total orders are the summation of all completed individual purchase transactions in a given period.
The Company uses “net income, as adjusted,” “diluted earnings per share, as adjusted,” “adjusted EBITDA” and “adjusted EBITDA margin” to provide useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating its ability to generate earnings, provide consistency and comparability with its past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of its core operating results as well as the results of its peer companies. The Company calculates “net income, as adjusted,” as net income adjusted to exclude transaction costs, expenses related to non-ordinary course disputes, stock-based compensation, including expense related to award modifications, accelerated performance awards and ambassador grants in connection with the IPO, and expense resulting from the retirement of the Company's previous CFO, and the income tax impact of these adjustments. The Company calculates “diluted earnings per share, as adjusted” as net income, as adjusted divided by diluted shares outstanding. The Company calculates “adjusted EBITDA” as net income adjusted to exclude: other income (loss), net; gain/loss on disposal of assets; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation and related expense; transaction costs; and expenses related to non-ordinary course disputes. The Company calculates “adjusted EBITDA margin” by dividing adjusted EBITDA by net revenues.
Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included below under the heading “Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.”
